odd behavior after rotating tires.

[Jackelope]

I rotated my tires over the weekend. now my car pulls to the right:

now, in detail

going down the road, put it in neutral, let go of wheel, pulls "slightly" right - normal to me..

BUT...

if i'm going down the road (any speed), and press the gas(not stomp it, just press like normal), it pulls right pretty bad to the right.... never done/noticed this before - i know about torque steer... but... i can be running 45, hit the gas to go... car wants to turn into the next available driveway...


^ I been thinking though, could this link back to my LSD, which blew up / got it fixed... seems the left tire is "pulling" more than the right when going straight... would explain why the left tire is more wore than the right tire...

well lets eliminate the easy stuff first. how did you rotate your tires? I assume you went front-back? if you changed diagonally - do you have directional tires (an arrow will be on the tire wall that should be pointing foward).

EDIT: also after your LSD issues, or the last time you had tires mounted - did you have an alignment?

could be an out of round tire, tread walk many things in the tire or alignment itself, but if you JUST noticed it after rotation my money would be on the tires. i work in a shop and i see this happen daily!

rotated front-back, no didnt get an aligment after getting these tires mounted... tires have been on ~11k miles or so... and front left tire was wore WAY more than front right.. enough i'm probably gonna replace it. i'm replacing the front rotors w/ EBC next week, then taking to get an alignment.. maybe it will go away! it was just odd to me that it only did it under power, maybe that just made it more noticeable.
